Santa Anita Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
NO MORE DING DONGS (4) strode forward early last start from his wide draw and was never headed, scoring by half a length at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. One of the top chances again. YA'LL COME (1) raced on pace for much of the way before fading in the straight to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1106m here last time. Commendable record at this trip with a win and four minor placings and is among the leading chances. BLUEGRASS GO GO (5) finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1106m at this track, beaten only half a length after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. CUPID'S CRUSADER (3) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.5 lengths of the winner in third last start over 1106m at this track. Among the main hopes.

Comes here off a 62-day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at Los Alamitos Qh on January 24 over 914m, 11 len behind Dial A Friend with 57kg at $14.20. Before that won by a 0.1 len at Los Alamitos Qh December 20 over 914m defeating Bet The Om carrying 56kg at $1.90. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
